Key conclusions
- Baldur's Gate 3 finally has console mods since yesterday with the release of patch 7.
- To celebrate, Larian Studios and Spud Gun Studios released an official animated short featuring the mod wizard wreaking havoc on the titular city.
To celebrate the mods finally coming to consoles, Larian Studios teamed up with Spud Gun Studios for the official Baldur's Gate 3 animated short, bringing back the talented cast for a quick round of Dungeons & Giant Rabbits.
The three-minute cartoon shows the modification wizard wreaking havoc on the titular Baldur's Gate, even messing with our group. Gail is rocking a light blonde Smash Mouth and glock, Karlach has a pot on her head, Let Me Solo is her style, and Shadowheart is throwing rainbows.
To ward off the evil of a lover who cares not to dive, horror Will pulls out a lightsaber knife, Astarion retrieves a purple flame, and Shadowheart swings a magical baguette. But of course, the baguette isn't enough, and she quickly transforms into Catwoman. You can watch the whole video here:
Worst of all, Lae'zel gets a human nose
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Gityanka is their small, flat nose. Lae'zel even mocks the usual humanoid face, but since launch there have been many mods that embellish the cast and strip it of its unique features.
The most popular of which, innocuously named “alternate faces,” gives Lae'zel a set of human noses… it just doesn't look right.
Silly sorcerer, you've gone too far!
So it's only fitting that Larian Studios poked fun at these mods in the new animation, giving Lae'zel a humanoid nose just to watch her panic in real time. But she retaliates with an Evil Dead-esque chainsaw hand, just as Vlaakit wanted.
